LAUREN'S POV

I froze, my back hitting the kitchen counter as I took a small step backward. My gaze fell on the stick she was holding, it's wooden edge glistening faintly under the weak light that seeped through the cracked kitchen window. I could see it clearly now… the stick was smeared with dark, half-dried blood. My stomach turned. That wasn’t paint. That was real. Maybe from one of the officers who had stormed in moments ago?

My eyes drifted back up to her face, and for a moment, I wished I hadn’t looked. Sophia’s expression was a picture of pure hatred, her lips pulled tight, her pupils small and sharp like a predator’s. The venom in her stare made the room feel smaller, suffocating. There was no doubt she wasn’t here to congratulate me for finding her or to talk things out. She was here for something else, something darker.

“You,” she said, her voice cutting through the silence like a knife. Her grip on the stick tightened, her knuckles whitening.

“This is your fault,” she h

  • No Second Chances, Ex-husband   CHAPTER 0220

    ELIZABETH'S POV I knew why she was calling. Jessica never wasted time, especially when she was waiting for juicy updates, so I already knew she wanted to ask how everything went and if Lauren was truly my sister. The phone kept buzzing beside me, vibrating against the covers like it was rushing me. I let out a small breath, picked it up, and answered, placing the phone against my ear. “Tell me, did you confirm it? Is she your twin?” Jessica asked immediately, sounding like she’d been holding the question in her chest all day. “Well, from what I’ve seen so far, I would likely say yes. Like you said, there’s no need to go to the hospital to confirm it. She literally looked like my photocopy today, we even wore the same dress.” I said, sitting down on the bed and crossing my legs slowly, letting myself sink into the mattress. “Wow, that’s good news, I am really happy for you,” Jessica said. “Yeah, whatever,” I replied, shrugging it off like it was some boring update from a stran

  • No Second Chances, Ex-husband   CHAPTER 0219

    ELIZABETH'S POV All my life, I’ve always gotten what I wanted. It wasn’t something I hid, and it wasn’t something I was ashamed of. Even though I’m currently annoyed with my parents and still not fully over the fact that they kept the truth about my adoption hidden from me, they have still been the best parents I could have ever asked for. They raised me like a princess — no, scratch that, they raised me like a queen. They gave me anything and everything I ever wanted, from the smallest little trinket I pointed at as a child to the most outrageous demands I made as a teenager. And the most important thing they ever gave me was a mentality, a belief that if you want something badly enough and you put your mind towards it, then nothing is impossible. You can have anything you want. And right now… I was going to put that mentality straight into work. Because the moment I set my eyes on Roman Hale, something in me shifted. It wasn’t the usual curiosity or that slight feminine excitemen

  • No Second Chances, Ex-husband   CHAPTER 0218

    ELIZABETH'S POV I let out a small sigh that sounded just soft enough to pass as guilt or maybe something close to remorse. I wasn’t exactly the best at pretending, but I hoped it would come across the way I needed it to. Then I lifted my gaze slightly and said, “Ok, maybe I might have reacted too much, I’m sorry about that.” My voice wasn’t shaky or emotional, just calm… the way an apology should sound when you want people to stop looking at you a certain way. While speaking, most of my attention went straight to Roman. I was trying not to make it too obvious, but I still glanced at him out of the corner of my eye, just to see if the apology made any difference. He gave me a small nod — nothing dramatic, nothing that revealed too much emotion, just a simple acknowledgment. Lauren mirrored the same gesture, nodding as well, so I guess they both accepted it. Or at least they pretended that they did. “If you're only here for a business conclusion, then you're staying at a hotel?” Laur

  • No Second Chances, Ex-husband   CHAPTER 0217

    ELIZABETH’S POV“You had one simple task, how could you not get it right, fucking Americans,” I snapped, feeling the anger still rising in my chest like something alive. My voice cut through the café loud enough for a few heads to turn, but I didn’t care. The stupidity in front of me needed to be addressed.I could still feel the sting in my palm from when I slapped him the first time, and honestly, I didn’t think I had hit him hard enough. Maybe I should have poured the other drink on his worthless uniform too. It would’ve matched nicely with the first splash ruining my dress. The embarrassment still burned, and every second I looked at his trembling face made my irritation spike even higher.“Elizabeth, enough. He said he was sorry. Let it go.” Lauren’s voice came from beside me, low but sharp. She subtly tilted her head toward the other customers.Only then did I notice the phones, so many of them pointed in our direction, people already filming like they were watching some reality

  • No Second Chances, Ex-husband   CHAPTER 0216

    LAUREN'S POV“Hold on, you just said we were in an orphanage?” I asked, my voice slow, like my mind was still trying to catch up with what she had just mentioned so casually.“Yes,” Elizabeth replied, nodding once, her face as calm as if she had repeated this story a hundred times already.“That means our biological parents, they’re…”“They’re dead. According to my parents, the orphanage said they died in an accident. We were the only ones who survived.” Elizabeth cut me off before I could even finish the sentence.I blinked as her words settled inside me, heavy and cold. My shoulders dropped slightly as I sank a bit into my chair, feeling the weight of that reality land on me. My gaze drifted down to the floor, not really focusing on anything in particular, just trying to absorb the information.I didn’t know what I had been expecting. Maybe I had been hoping for too much. Maybe somewhere in the back of my mind I thought they’d be alive. Maybe they’d come searching one day, or maybe

  • No Second Chances, Ex-husband   CHAPTER 0215

    LAUREN'S POVWhile looking at what Roman was staring at, I finally understood why he said that particular phrase — you have to be kidding me. The disbelief in his voice made sense the second my eyes landed on the woman sitting at the table ahead of us.“Well, she wasn’t hard to find,” Roman said, sarcasm dripping from every syllable.For a moment, I couldn’t say anything. My tongue felt stuck to the roof of my mouth. There were absolutely no words for what I was staring at. My brows pulled together so tightly that I could feel the small ache forming between them.Elizabeth.Up close, in real life, I saw why Roman froze. She looked exactly like me — exactly. And somehow seeing it in person hit way harder than the photos she sent earlier. The photos were shocking, yes, but seeing her move, blink, breathe? It sent something strange twisting inside me.She finally noticed us as we approached. Her eyes widened slightly, the same way mine probably did when I first saw her. And the expressio
